Day 1 – Settle in & relax

Unpack your bags in your family villa with private pool and let the children dive into the pool while you enjoy your first sunbath. A gentle start to your holiday.

Beach tip: spend some time with your feet in the sand at Diamant Beach or Les Salines Beach in Sainte-Anne, two gems on the south coast.

This shallow lagoon with turquoise waters is perfect for a family outing: swimming, iguana watching, bathing in the white sandbanks and lunch with your feet in the water.
